Sometimes, instead of covers, there's actually just writing on the street. But, this one I know: My favorite # 13!
So the next time you step out in New York City, "watch your step" can have a whole new meaning! There can be art, excitement, energies, discoveries and creative new ways to see the world each and every day!
And some, I just have no idea what they are for. Advertising ????

Great story and getting better. I guess we can all read it differently but I like your great affection for your city. Yes, we can take the symbols use them and with those look into art and science. I spend my time looking for treasures by lifting covers just to find another one underneath even more interesting - like your fascinating images. Nice key, wish I had it. Steen.
I think...out of the kindness of your heart...you should just give me all your photos.
Love Debbie
Goes to show that there is art everywhere and in everything. It just takes a keen eye to sometimes spot it! Great series here.
I love your photographs of these utility covers. Each design is so unique, have you thought of making a book of these photographs? have a lovely week! Roxanne
this is a Fabulous series of photos - each one with its own story and together creating such a unique view of the city. Such richness!
I just noticed in your sidebar that you loved The French Lieutenant's Woman - me too! I cut class in high school so much that my teacher made a deal with me: no class in exchange for reading books he chose. French Lieutenant's Woman was the first, and it changed my life!
Love the 13 - my birthday - May 13!! So fun...
